Overview

Identify the ‘Strategic Few’ Best to Lead

Leaders often fail because they depend too much on what made them successful in the past. They are not learning agile. The viaEDGE™ self-assessment measures an individual’s ability and willingness to learn from experience—and perform successfully in new situations. Distinct from intelligence — learning agility is the single, best predictor of high-potential.

viaEDGE™ easily and efficiently gauges the potential of large numbers of individuals, with the ease of an online self-administered assessment. viaEDGE™ helps organizations:

• Assess internal talent for placement and development of high potentials
• Aid in external candidate hiring
• Identify managers most likely to succeed in international assignments

Five dimensions of learning agility

viaEDGE™ measure the four traditional dimensions of learning agility — mental, people, change, and results — plus adds a fifth, self-awareness. Recent research suggests self-awareness is the #1 predictor of executive success.

• Mental agility—comfortable with complexity
• People agility—skilled communicator who can work with a diversity of people
• Change agility—like to experiment and comfortable with change
• Results agility—deliver results in first-time situations
• Self-awareness—the depth to which an individual recognizes skills, strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, and hidden strengths

The viaEDGE™ assessment takes about 30 minutes. Summary results are delivered immediately, with in depth results and interpretation delivered though Korn/Ferry certified coaches.

Agile learners tend to know what to do, even when they don’t know what to do. Find out who they are in your organization.
